The biography of the first Dear Lady Dye....,
By K. Maxwell "katmax1" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The First Lady Diana (Paperback)
The first Lady Diana Spencer (1710-35) had only a short life, dying at age 25. Diana didn't live long enough to have a lot of significant accomplishments in her own name, yet despite this I found the book an interesting and worthwhile read. After the death of her mother Di (and she was called that by her family) was raised by her maternal grandmother, Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. You learn a lot about Sarah in her old age in this book and the care she took raising her grand-daughters and as they got older the endless search for a suitable match for them.
This book gives you a real flavour of the early eighteenth century and the author has obviously done some impressive research. If you have an interest in the Spencer and/or Marlborough families then you'll undoubtedly find this biography a worthwhile read. It's a short, but intense book and worth the effort to pick up. |
